About This Quiz

Even if you didn't play with Barbie dolls as a kid, you most likely have heard of this iconic doll. Created in 1959 by Ruth Handler, the Barbie doll was meant to serve as an inspiration and a role model for little girls. The marketing for these Barbie dolls started in 1959 as well, with TV commercials causing the sales for these dolls to skyrocket. But it's not just the "Barbie" dolls that people love, as the Ken dolls, dream houses and fancy cars were (and still are) a big hit. Other notable Barbie appearances include Astronaut Barbie, Malibu Barbie, Surgeon Barbie and Gold Medal Barbie.

Due to the success of Barbie dolls, a fan club was created, as well as a Barbie convention for fans. Diversity has also played a huge roll in the Barbie universe, with the "dolls of the world" collection showcasing various Barbie dolls from different countries. These dolls have also spawned movies, video games, songs and TV shows, as well as a Barbie smartphone app. And if fashion is your thing, a New York Barbie fashion runway show was actually created in 2009 to honor the iconic and beautiful outfits of Barbie dolls. So if you think you're just like Barbie on the inside, then take this happy personality quiz now!
